Lehmann was then a graduate student in psychology, but dropped out after having a child. She is married and has two children.[3] She is the daughter-in-law of the poet Geoffrey Lehmann.[4]

Career

Lehmann founded the online magazine Quillette in October 2015.[5] According to the newspaper The Australian, Lehmann's story about the controversy surrounding Google engineer James Damore precipitated the venture's success.[6]

Lehmann has contributed to publications including The Guardian, Harvard's Kennedy School Review, Tercera Cultura, Scientific American, Rebel Australia, Tablet, and ABC News.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

Bari Weiss regards Lehmann as one of the leaders of the so-called "intellectual dark web".[2][15][16][17][18][19] The Sydney Morning Herald named Lehmann in their "Ten Aussies who shook the world in tech and media in 2018" citing that her online magazine, Quillette, has "attracted as many as 2 million followers a month, [and] is starting to gain significant traction in tech and libertarian circles in the US".[20]
